Since its creation in 1956 by the late HRH The Duke of Edinburgh KG KT, the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme has gone from strength to strength. Guided by the same set of principles and by young people themselves, it’s as relevant today as it was then.

A flexible programme that helps to develop young people for life and work, the numbers speak for themselves: 93% of participants feel that Duke of Edinburgh has helped them to work in a team and 84% feel that they have become a more responsible person.

Here at St Gregory’s, we run the Bronze, Silver and Gold levels of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. The award is offered from Year 9 onwards and is fully inclusive for children of all levels of ability.

We work closely with our provider and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Scheme to support our young people with the award which consists of volunteering work, skill activities, physical activities and a qualifying expedition.
